Hi Mark,
Over the last several weeks, I have been experimenting with the Light Level and Day/Night setting on my Motion Sensor II. My logic was that on a dull cloudy day, the light level inside the house would be darker than on a bright sunny day. This is especially true as the seasons change too. In the Fall and Winter, the daylight goes to dark very fast versus the Spring and Summer when the transition takes longer. So I created an Event that tests the Light Level to determine when the event should fire to turn on the house lights. Today, I noticed that the event had fired yet the display of the light level was still well above the threshold and the time since the last update was at least an hour old. Does this make any sense to you??
Is it possible that internally, the Motion Sensor is testing the light level according to the parameters but HomeSeer is not updating the most current reading?? I have the Heartbeat set at to test every 5 minutes or so. Is there something that I can do that would refresh the Device Values more frequently?? I am still testing the parameters for the Event and it is a much harder job to do when the screen is showing a reading that is not current.
Thank you
Brian
